East cm Division, until the company shall furnish evidence to tho President of tho United States that It will within a certain period complete its line by way of Denver, so as to form a connection with tho Union Pacific road near Cheyenne bv tho shortest route. The bill and amendments were ordered to be printed. Mr. PRICE, chairman of the Pacific Rai'-road committee, said he had been intruc:it by the committee to have the bill put npo;: its passage, but he was himself opposed to It. There was, however, one good thing connected with it. The men at Denver were building the road to make a connection w;fc. the Union Pacific Railroad; they were uoi;ig it with their own money, and asked by KU bill the transfer of lands granted for that purpose to the Pacific Railroad eastern iti-vision, but asked no subsidy. The item for subsidy had been, he was informed, put ia the bill in the Senate by those not real'y interested In the construction of the road. Te bill camo from the Senate as a double-ender. His friend, Washburne, suggested that cue end be taken off. If the subsidy were taken out it would be a meritorious bill, but with it in it was aa exceedingly objectionable one. Mr. WASHBURNE, of Illinois, addressed the House in opposition. He claimed tY at in subsidy and the privilege of issuing tie first mortgage bonds the Union Paeiflc (Eastern Division) Road had been aided to the amount of $:5j,846,00O, or the equivalent of $89,015 per mile.

Mr. PRICE remarked that the House might as well on this bill, as on any other, fight the battle as to subsidies and money.

East cm Division, until the company shall furnish evidence to tho President of tho United States that It will within a certain period complete its line by way of Denver, so as to form a connection with tho Union Pacific road near Cheyenne bv tho shortest route. The bill and amendments were ordered to be printed. Mr. PRICE, chairman of the Pacific Rai'-road committee, said he had been intruc:it by the committee to have the bill put npo;: its passage, but he was himself opposed to It. There was, however, one good thing connected with it. The men at Denver were building the road to make a connection w;fc. the Union Pacific Railroad; they were uoi;ig it with their own money, and asked by KU bill the transfer of lands granted for that purpose to the Pacific Railroad eastern iti-vision, but asked no subsidy. The item for subsidy had been, he was informed, put ia the bill in the Senate by those not real'y interested In the construction of the road. Te bill camo from the Senate as a double-ender. His friend, Washburne, suggested that cue end be taken off. If the subsidy were taken out it would be a meritorious bill, but with it in it was aa exceedingly objectionable one. Mr. WASHBURNE, of Illinois, addressed the House in opposition. He claimed tY at in subsidy and the privilege of issuing tie first mortgage bonds the Union Paeiflc (Eastern Division) Road had been aided to the amount of $:5j,846,00O, or the equivalent of $89,015 per mile. The highest possible actual estimated cost was $30,000" per mile, giving them a real profit of $23,846,500, and that the road was badly located and poorly built. Adjourned. NEW YORK. Election of U.
